CCR Technology's Ouroboros Article

***Louby Lou*** · 25th January 2006, 21:23

Hi Everyone

Just to let you all know that Martin Smith aka ccscuba has kindly written an article for the library on his Ouroboros.

You can find the article HERE and can use this thread to post any comments, leave feedback and ask any questions you would like to ask

Due to my annoyingly difficult email, images will be uploaded as soon as possible

Many thanks to Martin

Cheers

Lou

Excellent article, Martin, thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

Such a well designed and beautifully build rebreather, I appreciate
your honesty regarding problems and critique.
Thanks for writing it, I'm looking forward to the pictures that will follow.

Good article Martin, well done.

I bumped into Martin on a number of occasions in the UK when he had experienced various problems with his Boris.

His enthusiasm and faith in ultimate satisfaction with this CCR, are two of the reasons I went ahead and got one.

Thanks for your time buddy, look me up if you are ever in NE France.

Cheers,

Dave Cooper.

nice article Martin, i am though quite confused to a spcific part of it where you compare the sizes to the YBOD.

Quote:

I’ve heard people say the Ouroboros is a big rebreather – in fact, it’s dimensions (30cm deep, 40cm wide, 60 cm high approximately) are not dissimilar to the Inspiration (34cm deep, 42 cm wide, 62cm high, taking into account the chest mounted counterlungs).

I just saw a picture i am going to post it here, i hope i am not doing somehting illegal by doing this, in case i did, then Bruce i am sorry was not my intention.

Would I be right in thinking the rig you have on your back was one of the prototypes i.e. 2 litre tanks are inboard?

The unit pictured (at Dive Tech in Grand Cayman, unless I'm much mistaken) is, as suggested, one of the pre-production units with inboard tanks. It was much bigger than the production units.
I'm still working out how to post the pictures - I think they may be too big to email.

When you reply, take a look at the "Manage Attchaments" button just slightly above "Submit Reply" button.

It will open an extra window for you to attach pictures to your post.

I found this free tool (Image Resizer) from another thread. Once installed, you could resize any picture easily by right-click on the picture.

If you still can't email me the pictures and I will post it for you since I am curious about the size issue as well. I have ADSL so size not an issue...
